It's like TV, don't they already make enough money from the advertisers, why do they have to charge money for me to watch commercials? I understand HBO (no commercials), but to have to pay for QVC or the home shopping network seems crazy to me.
I just didn't understand why with everything getting more effecient, they have to increase costs and limit things, shouldn't it be going the other way?

However, lets not forget the fact that most companies over sell and under deliver their advertised amounts of bandwith, AND its not like when I buy a certain plan for internet service it's not like I'm using that full allocation for 5 or even 6 hours out of a full day.
So them to raise the prices up and up just because people are using more services like HULU and Netfilx during a few peak hours is gouging.

I don't like this idea. I know its not a serious thought, but it still rubs me the wrong way. Otherwise this a is very interesting conversation, and I really hate my Comcast bill even if I do get service beyond the specs of my service plan.

But to me if more and more people are using the internet, wouldn't that lower the cost? It's like a bulk discount type of thing
It's not free to host a website and keep it on the market, so i guess i thought that cost would help difray the end user, after all if i can't get to their site, what's the point of you hosting it?
Thanks for letting me interject my $.02...
